In this first episode of Season 3, Peter introduces his new co-host, Tom Shepherd. Tom has been a previous guest on the podcast and after a re-introduction to Tom and his work, in this episode, he and Peter discuss what they think it means to be a “working artist”. Both Tom and Peter are proud to call themselves working artists and discuss some of the dilemmas which can occur – such as decisions when creativity and financial matters seem to pull you in different directions. Tom concludes by introducing some of the things the pair will be discussing during the rest of this season – transitioning out of covid, risk taking, more listeners’ questions, demystifying mailing lists, social media and… the slightly controversial, but very interesting, topic of NFT’s!
